Ntubeni, who picked up a shoulder injury during pre-season training, will make his first appearance of the season should he take to the field on Friday, whilst Elstadt is also back from a shoulder niggle after missing the Cheetahs and Sharks clashes.

Louis Schreuder will provide flyhalf cover from the bench, with Stormers coach Allister Coetzee opting to give Elton Jantjies one more week to be ready for the clash against the Blues in Albany next Friday, May 3.

"Elton trained well this week," said Coetzee.

"I said earlier in the week that he was at 80 percent, but we want to ensure that he has a full week of training [next week] and that we have him ready for the Blues match.

"[Prop] Frans Malherbe is also getting a break this week, mainly as part of our rotation policy, but also to rest a slight AC Joint injury which he suffered against the Sharks."
